There’s nothing as precious as peace. We yearn deeply for it. But, so often, we allow our worries, fears, anxieties and circumstances to steal our peace away.

Today, Jack shares the story of an incredible encounter he had with a man who radiated peace—even though he was in a position that would have most of us curled up in the fetal position with fear. 

That man offered one piece of advice that changed Jack’s life and will keep you from being robbed of peace ever again…

Today begins the most sacred time of the year. Our savior will die, resurrect and promise to come again, showing us the greatest example of love the world has ever known!

Allen reflects on 14 life-changing words that sum up our faith. They tell us who we are and provide a glimpse of all we can become.

Hear these words. Allow them to fill you up. They’ll help you have a more powerful Easter experience than ever before, if you let them.

Jesus doesn’t hold back when he’s got something to say—and today he speaks two lines that should stop us in our tracks. 

On their own, each of these lines probably produced a whirlwind of emotions for the disciples. But we often skip over the fact that Jesus says them so close together. The implications are truly astounding!

Watch today’s video to explore with Matthew what these two sayings paired together could mean for your life.

Make no mistake, there’s always some aspect of our lives that has died. Some part of us that we’ve neglected or ignored. Whatever it is for you, watch today’s reflection from Matthew to see how you can embrace Jesus’ offer of new life.

The New Testament is a book full of miracles, defining moments, and radical transformations. Today’s story might just be the most fascinating of them all.

A man born blind is healed by Jesus. Rejection, confusion, fear and ultimately faith all follow. 

Buckle up for a powerful ride as Allen explores the incredible graces hidden in this story.

Forgiveness is one of those things we often get wrong. Both in action and in outlook.

Perhaps we think it is easy, until someone wounds us deeply.

Or we think it’s a sign of weakness, until we realize the strength it takes to give and receive it.

Maybe more than anything else, we think forgiveness has a limit. That there are some things that can’t be forgiven, shouldn’t be forgiven.

Today, Allen reflects on a powerful moment where Jesus shows us the truth about forgiveness.

You know those moments in life that you just never want to end? A great meal with friends. A massive win at work. Your wedding day.

We have a tendency to yearn for the mountaintop moments in life to last forever. In part because of how incredible the mountaintop can be. But also because the valleys beyond seem to promise inevitable struggle and uncertainty.

Jack Beers reflects on how leaving the mountaintop may feel like a terrible trade-off, but in reality leads to the greatest opportunity of our lives.

What would happen if you got everything you wanted? It’s natural to think that getting what we want will make us happy and satisfied.

There’s just one problem: we usually want the wrong things. Things that don’t bring real happiness or joy or peace—things like money, pleasure, status, getting even, the list goes on.

Today, Allen reflects on Jesus’ temptation in the desert and one key truth it reveals to us: life isn’t about getting what we want at all. It’s about something so much better…

How often do we stop to take a look at the fruit of our lives? Are some rotten and some ripe? Matthew shares something new that he’s noticed in today’s gospel reading that will make you look at things a little differently. 

Jesus has plenty of difficult teachings. This one might take the cake.

“Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.”

Allen reflects on what it means to live out this teaching and what happens to us and the world when we do.

How will it change your life today?
